During an interview with Dealspwn, Gearbox co-founder Brian Martel stated that a Wii U version of Borderlands 2 would be fantastic. Martel is excited about the Wii U GamePad because it can be a great device for managing inventory in games, including Borderlands 2. Martel thinks that the game would look really good on the Wii U because it can “deal with the resolutions and textures.” Borderlands 2 will be released on the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 this September.

“We really like the Wii U. I think it’s a really cool platform. I like what they’re doing – obviously with the touchscreen – and it will be interesting to see what Microsoft do with their approach to that idea. It’s one of those problems of the Wii: the only people who have ever made a lot of money on the Wii is Nintendo.”

“If Borderlands 2 was on the Wii U, the thing I would be most excited about is inventory management: it would be amazing on that, it would just be fantastic. And I think the artwork would look really good, with the way they can deal with the resolutions and textures, I think it’s a really good console.”

I don’t think you understand where his going. I am a nintendo fan but I still play on PS3 and Xbox 360. To me nintendo fanboys are the most understanding, while sony and Micro… fanboys say nintendo sucks because of grafics and no new IPs. Sony and Micro.. fanboys are the tyipcal fanboys. And he hates the idea of you coming here and shiting on ever thing, and not just because your a fanboy of what ever you are.

There are no understanding fanboys, from any side. Maybe fans, yes. On this site, I have encountered some of the WORST, most foul mouthed, ignorant, disgusting, and hard-headed Nintendo fanboys ever. It just makes the rest of the Nintendo exclusive fans look bad.

Borderlands 2 would be a PERECT addition to the Wii U lineup. Randy Pitchford, CEO of Gearbox Software truly passionate about Nintendo… especially upcoming games like Aliens: Colonial Marines. Let’s all hope that Borderlands 2 comes to the U next year.

truly passionate? sounds like marketing talk to me. Passion doesnt just appear instantly. Passion happens over a long period of time. Like Miyamoto pouring his soul into his work or Kojima with metal gear…

If it ever was marketing, it would be like Mark Rein promoting the Unreal Engine 4 for PCs only. I can’t blame either Pitchford or Miyamoto when it comes to making and innovating video games. It’s your opinion, Aeolus… and I have nothing else to comment or object you.

I don’t like the XBOX 360 perosonally. It has no exclusives that I like except for maybe Fable 2. I bought a XBOX 360 & I was bored. Graphics doesn’t always translate to fun. Man, I’m bored with my 360 lol. But it’s always best to own more then one console. Wii/PS3 was the best to have this gaming generation. N64 was a great console & I owned it & PS1 back in the day at the same time. I got my dad to buy me a N64, while my grandma got me a PS1. Try to get a WiiU & a PS4 next go round man. WiiU will be awesome & it will come out first with the next video game consoles so get that this year first.
PS4 should come out at the end of next year so get it, if u or someone in your family can afford it.

For me, it was one of those games that I had to force myself to play in the beginning, but once I started, I couldn’t put the controller down. Its really fun when you play online with people you actually know too. One thing I didn’t like was the amount of guns. Gearbox kept talking about it like it was a good thing, but once you play the game you realize that there’s little difference between the gun you’re holding and the next best upgrade. It got annoying constantly going through inventory to compare guns so I didn’t ungrading until I noticed I was doing less damage than before.

In the end, I’m getting Borderlands 2. I just don’t know if I’ll get it at launch.

you consider borderlands to be better than a traditional rpg? have you actually played the genre at all? borderlands has some decent rpg elements, but it is more of a shooter. you have not played many rpg if you consider this to to be better.

It’s one of those problems of the Wii: the only people who have ever made a lot of money on the Wii is Nintendo.”

One of the best quotes I heard this year so far. Nintendo platforms sell Nintendo games far more in quantity than third party developers. Good that he mentioned that point. The Wii made loads selling Nintendo games but lots of third party games barely hit the 1 to 2 million mark

Well.. Nintendo cant do anything… its down to the consumer to actually buy the games to support third party :P and if Nintendo fanboys stick to just mario zelda metroid etc… then third party devs will drop support if they are not making enough money

Have to agree with you. It’s sad. I myself buy alot of third party. Sadly that can’t be said about other N gamers I know ): Even though I like N first party best so is there alot of great third party as well and that’s something I can’t look past. All good games deserve a shot!

Not all Nintendo fanboys stick to Nintendo only games, I’ve gotten over 40 third party titles that I love lol, but third parties need to make great games for Nintendo systems instead of doing the quick shovelware route like many did for the Wii.

yep. This article is also pure marketing. Of course they are gonna praise the console… they are POURING money into the wiiU port! No tthat its a bad thing… its called running a business :P but yep that quote summed up the wii perfectly

Well there are multiple Aeolus’s. There are some fake troll ones. There is the real trolling one. Then there is the fake NON-trolling Aeolus. I like the fake NON-trolling Aeolus, he’s not a complete fanboy.

its because they know what there doing. everyone in the industry if fired people and losing companies but Nintendo there earning money because they made there choice that people said oh that’s stupid, there doom.
“It’s one of those problems of the Wii: the only people who have ever made a lot of money on the Wii is Nintendo.”
man i can tell michel patcher is super jealous man.

Borderland? On a Nintendo console? Make it happen! I simply love Borderlands, finished the story mode a couple of days ago after playing it nonstop in a month. Now, I’ve started playing on the DLC, freaking sweet. Would love to buy this game and many other awesome titles on a Nintendo console instead. Well, that is if Wii U has everything that the 360/PS3 has and even more.

Her cannon, or Mega Man’s buster.
Or, hey! How about a Beam Saber for Zero in BL2, directly FROM Zero off of Mega Man?XD
And while we’re at it, let’s get an upgrade pack in there that turns Axton’s turrets into miniature Metal Slug tanks that roll around shooting stuff for you.XD

With the first Borderlands, i couldnt really play online, its not the sort of game i can play with some random dude, but me and my brother love borderlands, but he has a 360 amd i have a ps3, but we both want a wiiu, so that would be epic

..thats sexy, same. i cant play online, too many shitbags & cheats (hackers) i prefer my 2 best frends wich R chicks. i’d get borderlands 2 wen it arrives on ps3. just calm down on the vast amount of weapons this time, gearbox..geez
